Delaware Scoreboards: Baseball Holds 41 of 69 Records in 17 Cities

Baseball holds 41 of the 69 records in our Delaware sales and shipping record, more than twice basketball at 17. Four of the five most-shipped models are outdoor baseball and softball scoreboards: the LX1160, LX1060, LX1030 and LX1130. The fifth, the indoor LX2350 basketball scoreboard, ties the LX1160 for the top spot.

Read the record next to your own venue. It covers 27 distinct models, and no single model passes 7 records. For a Delaware athletic director, coach or rec department, that spread matters. Which scores, counts and indicators do your players and officials need to see during a game? This article explains how to read a record row, what each of those five scoreboards shows according to its own spec sheet, and how the NFHS pitch count and bonus rules shape a new order. The record shows what shipped. It does not show why.

What does Electro-Mech's Delaware sales and shipping record actually count?

Our Delaware sales and shipping record holds 69 records across 17 cities and towns, running from 2000 to 2025, and ranks Delaware thirty-fifth of fifty states by units shipped.

Before you read anything into those figures, check three things about each row:

1. The city is the shipping address on the order, not the place a scoreboard stands.
2. The sport is how the order line was coded, not a statement about what the product is.
3. A model's variants count under its LX equivalent, so 2350, 2350-C and LX2350 are one model in the state totals.

Our data comes from the record of what we sold and shipped, with one row per organization, model and city. The public Delaware state page applies the same rule and prints the same two counts, so you can check them yourself. Our review uses the record snapshot dated September 14, 2026. Two of our own documents sit behind every figure in this section: the state record and our notes on how to read it.

The record shows what left the factory. It does not show what was installed, what is still standing or why anyone bought it. A shipped scoreboard can sit in storage for months or years before it goes up.

The common assumption is that a city on the list marks a field or gym in that town. It does not. Where one ZIP code carries most of a city's rows, the address belongs to a dealer serving many towns. For that reason, this article does not rank Delaware's cities against each other.

In practice, treat each count as a shipment, not a site. The record also names no schools, leagues or venues for Delaware. What it does carry is the model on every row, and each model has its own published spec sheet. You can pull any of them from our scoreboard manuals library before you compare figures across models.

Why does baseball hold 41 of the 69 Delaware records?

Baseball leads because 41 of the 69 records are coded to it, more than twice basketball at 17, and four of the five most-shipped models are outdoor baseball and softball scoreboards.

Our data by sport reads baseball 41, basketball 17, football 4, hockey 4 and soccer 3. No other sport comes close to baseball. Football, hockey and soccer together sit well behind basketball alone.

The model list tells the same story. Our review of the state record puts the LX1160 at 7 records, the LX1060 at 5, and the LX1030 and LX1130 at 4 each. Each of those four spec sheets files the model as Outdoor, Baseball / Softball. The fifth model on the list, the LX2350, is the indoor exception, and a later section covers it.

The research section above walks through these findings.

The four baseball models come in two widths. The LX1060 and LX1160 share a 10-foot cabinet, and our LX1160 model page describes the LX116x series as an expansion of the LX1060 design. The LX1030 and LX1130 share an 8-foot cabinet. All four carry 18-inch Runs and Inning digits on their spec sheets; the taller cabinets add room for more information, which the pitch count section explains.

The record does not say why any of these scoreboards was bought. It does not say whether an order went to a school, a park or a youth league either. What it shows is where the orders cluster.

For a Delaware buyer, the meaning is practical. The deepest part of the state record is outdoor baseball. If you are planning a gym instead, start with our basketball scoreboard models, since basketball is the second-largest sport in the record.

Why does an indoor basketball scoreboard tie for the most-shipped model in Delaware?

The LX2350, an indoor basketball scoreboard, ties the outdoor LX1160 at 7 records, and no model in the state passes that figure across 27 distinct models recorded.

The spec sheet explains the tie better than the count does. Our data, from the LX2350 spec sheet, describes an indoor Basketball / Multi-Sport scoreboard with a 9 ft x 3 ft aluminum cabinet weighing 89 lb. Guest Points, Home Points and the Period Clock use 12-inch digits, the Period digit is 9 inches, and the Bonus and Possession indicators are 3 inches. The LX2350 draws 1.2 amps at 120 VAC; the LX2350-ETN draws 1.9 amps and uses 4-inch captions. Standard equipment includes wall mounting hardware, an internal horn, and a data output port for daisy chaining additional displays.

Those figures describe a different job from the LX1160. One is built for a gym wall, with Bonus and Possession indicators already in the cabinet. The other is an outdoor baseball display. The tie does not mean Delaware buyers split evenly between gyms and diamonds. The record does not say which building each LX2350 went to, or why it was ordered.

Three practical steps follow from the tie. First, measure the wall where the scoreboard will hang. The research section above walks through these findings. Before you compare models, list the indoor sports your gym hosts in a season. Then decide whether you want Electronic Team Names, because the LX2350 and LX2350-ETN carry different electrical figures. No football or soccer model reaches the most-shipped list, so if your field needs one, start from the spec sheets on our high school football scoreboards page.

Officiating at the top of the sport is moving in another direction. A 2025 Brookings TechTank podcast noted that Major League Baseball has used Hawkeye in the pre-season to call balls and strikes. The Delaware record shows nothing of that kind. Its two most-shipped models are fixed-digit scoreboards, one for an outdoor diamond and one for an indoor court.

Organization: as the record spells it
City:         shipping address
Model:        LX1130
Sport code:   order-line label

A row tells you what shipped. The spec sheet tells you what it is. Our data, from the LX1130 spec sheet, lists fifty programmable brightness levels as standard equipment, a detail no row carries.

Which Delaware baseball scoreboards show pitch counts, and why does that matter?

NFHS Rule 6-2-6 has required every state association to set a pitch-count-based pitching restriction policy since 2016, and the LX1160 and LX1130 show both teams' pitch counts.

Pitch counts matter because the limit comes from a policy your teams already play under. Under that NFHS rule, each member state association develops its own policy based on the number of pitches thrown in a game, with a required rest period between appearances. Your state association sets the numbers. The NFHS rule book does not. Little League publishes its own pitch count breakdowns by league age, with days-of-rest thresholds for each division of play. Check the current limits on each organization's own page before the season starts.

Our review of the LX1160 model page shows it was the first standard Electro-Mech scoreboard model to offer Pitch Counts. The series grew from the LX1060 after customers often asked for Pitch Count and Timers on that design. The LX1130 started from the LX1030, and the added cabinet height makes room for Pitch Counts, a Timer, or both. Our data, from the LX1160 and LX1130 spec sheets, puts each at 1.4 amps, with a full-sized 37-key control console with LCD display as standard. The LX1160-ETN draws 2.7 amps.

Not every pitch count scoreboard works the same way. The LX16xx and LX17xx series include Single Pitch Count models, where the digits alternate between Home and Guest depending on which team is at bat. A double display keeps both pitchers in view all game. A single display shows one team at a time.

The scoreboard shows the count. Your association's policy sets the limit. Ask your coaches whether they want both teams' pitch counts always visible, or a single count that switches with the team at bat.

How should a Delaware school, district or rec department plan a scoreboard purchase?

Plan around your primary sport and its current rule. In high school basketball, NFHS now awards two free throws on the fifth team foul in each quarter.

From what Delaware buyers have ordered, turn to what your own program needs next. Under NFHS Rule 4-8-1, in effect since the 2023-24 season, team fouls reset at the end of each quarter and the one-and-one is gone. Older per-half foul counts no longer describe the high school game. Check how any gym scoreboard you are considering shows the bonus before you compare anything else.

Our data, from the LX2350 spec sheet, lists Bonus and Possession indicators as built into the cabinet, with Double Bonus Indicators available as an option. The spec sheet does not describe how an operator sets the bonus under the per-quarter rule. Ask the Electro-Mech team to confirm that before you order.

The rule decides the display. The display decides the model. Work through these five steps in order:

1. Name the primary sport and its governing rule. For baseball, read your state association's pitch count policy and, for youth play, Little League's own page. For basketball, work from the per-quarter bonus rule above.
2. Choose the feature set, then the cabinet. Decide whether you need pitch counts, a bonus display or Electronic Team Names before you look at size, because each choice changes the model and its electrical figures.
3. Read the model's own spec sheet. Take digit height, weight and amperage from that document, and name the variant, since a base model and its ETN version carry different figures.
4. Plan control and options. Most customers choose ScoreLink RF wireless control. A hardwired LX2350 can run up to 1,000 feet of data cable. Options such as ID panels for sponsors and a team name in place of HOME belong on the same order.
5. Request a quote. Pricing and delivery timing come from a quote, not from an article or a shipping record.

The Delaware record shows what peers ordered. It cannot tell you what your field or gym needs. Your rule book, your venue and the spec sheet answer that, in that order.

How do Delaware's records split by sport?

Baseball leads the Delaware record by a wide margin, basketball comes second, and football, hockey and soccer each hold only a handful of records.

The split below follows the sport counts our review of the Delaware sales and shipping record prints. Four of the five most-shipped models are outdoor baseball scoreboards. The fifth is the LX2350, which serves the gym. Football, hockey and soccer models are not broken out by name in the state counts, so the table leaves them unnamed.

The baseball lead shapes the whole catalog choice. The LX1130 cabinet starts from the LX1030 design and adds two feet, reaching 8 ft x 6 ft. That extra space holds pitch counts, a timer, or both. A buyer who reads the table sees where the Delaware record concentrates, not why any school chose a model. The record does not say.

What does the Delaware record mean for your next scoreboard order?

For your next order, the record is a starting point rather than a shopping list: confirm what your players and officials need to see, then match a model's spec sheet to it.

Baseball leads the state by a wide margin. List every venue you are planning for, field and gym alike, before you ask for a quote. Each one needs its own spec sheet. The research section above walks through these findings. Then work through three checks. Confirm your state association's pitch count policy, or Little League's page for youth play. Check how a gym scoreboard shows the bonus. Then read the spec sheet of the model that fits, and ask for a quote built on it.
